Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This topic aims to disseminate recent advancements in aeroacoustics research, encompassing both innovative concepts and novel applications. The content intends to cover theoretical, computational, and experimental aeroacoustics, addressing classical issues in linear and nonlinear acoustics. Aeroacoustics are essential for both dynamic and static objects subjected to wind flow around or through them, and achieving high aeroacoustics efficiency with minimal wind noise is a key requirement for the design and manufacture of road vehicles, high-speed trains, aircraft, wind turbines, buildings, and structures. Furthermore, the aeroacoustics issues in ducts, pipelines, engines, and vehicle interiors are increasingly becoming important design criteria for maintaining market competitiveness. The topic will showcase technological progress in aeroacoustics by providing a publication platform for the interchange of innovative ideas, advanced techniques and technologies, and groundbreaking solutions to problems in the field of aeroacoustics in wind engineering. The scopes of the topic on aeroacoustics in wind engineering include, among others, the research and development of noise source identification and reduction, acoustic prediction and simulation, aeroacoustics optimization, and psychoacoustics. The rationale for the topic includes dissemination of the latest research and technological advancements in (a) noise reduction for safety, comfort, environment, health, and well-being; (b) performance enhancement; and (c) innovation and development in bio-inspired design, advanced materials, technologies, and other interrelated areas.

Research areas may encompass, but are not restricted to, the following:

  1. Flow-Induced Noise: Boundary Layer Ingestion and Ducted Fan Noise
  2. Flow-Induced Noise: Turbulence-Ingestion Noise
  3. Wind Turbine Noise Mechanisms and Mitigation as well as Nonoperational Loads and Noise
  4. Experimental Aeroacoustics and diagnostics (Wind Tunnel Testing, In Situ and Field Testing, and Innovative Techniques)
  5. Computational Aeroacoustics and High-Fidelity Modeling
  6. Sustainable Design and Noise Reduction (Low-Noise Aerofoil Design and Flow Control Techniques)
  7. Wind Farm Aeroacoustics
  8. Psychoacoustics and Noise Annoyance
  9. AI and Machine Learning Applications (Noise Prediction and Optimization)

Articles addressing these or similar topics are welcome. To ensure rapid publication, all submissions will be subjected to a quick but thorough peer review. The editors look forward to receiving your insightful contributions.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) sets strict limits for aircraft ramp noise, a key source of which is Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) inlet noise. This paper presents a systematic and computationally efficient design methodology for APU inlet mufflers. The high-frequency noise necessitates validating a single-degree-of-freedom liner impedance model up to 10,000 Hz. The core innovation overcomes prohibitive full-passage simulation costs (days) by optimally selecting attenuation center frequencies from the source spectrum and implementing an axially segmented design. This approach enables efficient, targeted optimization (minutes per case) and leverages acoustic mode scattering at segment interfaces to enhance overall attenuation. The design is verified via high-fidelity, full-flow-path simulation. Experimental validation under various operating conditions shows good agreement with predictions, achieving approximately 9 dB reduction in overall A-weighted Sound Power Level (OASPL) with consistent performance. The results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed rapid, precise, and efficient design framework. Full article

This investigation is to address the aerodynamic noise generated from laminar flow over a D-shaped cylinder at a low Reynolds number (Re). Proposed is a novel assembly of arc-shaped splitter plates to effectively reduce the aeolian tone for the D-shaped cylinder. The two-dimensional flow field is simulated at an Re of 160 to investigate the mechanism of reducing the sound of the arc-shaped plates. The radiated sound has been predicted by Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW-H) acoustic analogy. To verify calculations, the predicted results of a circular cylinder have been compared with the data in the literature. The results reveal that the introduction of the arc plates decreases the lift and drag fluctuations as well as the vortex shedding frequency in comparison with the no-arc plate case. The pressure and velocity fluctuations in the wake zone are reduced by the arc plates due to vortex shedding suppression. The application of the arc plates shows an effective control of sound, leading to a maximum reduction in sound pressure level (SPL) by almost 34 dB. Full article
